I've been going at my job for over 6 years now and I have turned down promotions because they would make me worse off in several respects. Most workers are "rank and file", by definition; we can't all be managers.
No one would work then. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

You seem to equate all of the Wehrmacht (which mainly consisted of very young conscripts, many of them malleable, uneducated and never having come in actual contact with people outside of their direct environment) with the horrible atrocities a powerful elite amongst then chose to carry out. If you do, I pity you. If you don't, you might see the nuance that discredits your own strawman fallacy.
Ever heard about the Dunning-Kruger effect?
My motto: if you do what you did, you get what you got.
It mostly serves to remind me (and my public, voluntarily or otherwise) that if you are unhappy with something and want it to change for the better, you'll have to change parameters (i.e. your approach) or you will just get the same result.
Former military, so can't say I do not agree in principle. (Though not based on political stance.)
